Flyertalker's know that DL is now ranked as the worst US based airline for redeeming miles (higher miles requirements, highest fees, messed up award calendar).
I have 60,000 AX MR points. I have DL and CO frequent flyer accounts (AX partners). CO is hooking up with United in the future. Should I wait and transfer my points to CO at a later date (even without the bonus)?
Please give me your two cents.

I still haven't received mine from October. I emailed Delta 2 weeks ago and they forwarded on to their "partner desk" and said I would get a response in 10 business days. 12 days have elapsed and no word yet and have been too busy to follow up. Will so today or tomorrow and let you know what I hear. It's good to hear I am not alone!

My bonus posted within 24 hours. This has NEVER happened before. Usually you have to wait WEEKS for this to happen.

still waiting for 20% Aug 2008 bonus to post
I am still waiting for a the 20% bonus from Aug1-31,2008 to post. Called 11/8...that person said they would take care of it. called 11/18- and was told to go to the web site and report the problem. Went to the web site and followed the exact instructions to request miles from the Skymiles site. Today talked to someone who insisted I must prove I registered. But I never got an email receipt in August...and to prove that, I just registered for the 30% December offer...and no receipt for that either.
So, since we do not get 'proof' of registering other that printing out a website page showing the offer terms, does anyone get proof they registered to prove to DL they they registered?
Is there a way to 'debate' this with DL?

I JUST got the 20% October bonus today.. I had emailed 3 times. Not sure if that did the trick of simply waiting 8 weeks. Have you gotten your August bonus yet??

Still waiting for 20% bonus from Sept. 15th transfer of 51,000 MR points. Have faxed all pertinent info to Delta as requested but no response. Have been working through Amex to see if they will do anything.

Xfered 700k MRs and got two business class seats for 100k miles each for MKE-CDG trip in May. The bonus xfer covered the cost of the seats. The seats are on NW (not my favorite business class airline) but what the heck they were totally free. I prefer to burn my skymiles on nonDelta metal.

For clarification it is my understanding that this 30% offer is not like the past bonus offers with the 4-8 week fine print and the bonus this time is given immediately. I can confirm that in the past getting your bonus miles delievered in timely matter was difficult. I can remember Delta and Amex playing ping pong with me many years ago.

I waited till my last MR points posted this weekend before doing a transfer to DL. I did the transfer on Sat. or Sun. Went to DL.com this morning and all points listed....including amazingly the 30% bonus. Amazing.
